Movie Reviews of Masterpiece Theatre: Railway Children
Movie Review: Very nice family movie
Summary: 5 Stars
From reading not very favorible reviews here about 2000's THE RAILWAY CHILDREN I got myself this film to see for myself. And I think it is in my opinion a very well made production. Jemima Rooper as the oldest girl Bobbie is very good acting. Little girl Phillis (Clare Thompson) took a bit to get used to because they are all so darn british. Yes, sometimes they are hard to understand, especially the luggage carrier. Nonetheless I got used to all of these characters and loved them by the end of the movie. Maybe I learned also a little british accent on the side. Then I read that the mother, actress Jenny Agutter, played the child Bobbie in the 1970's version of this film. And since that film is supposed to be superior to this one I got to see that also now although its out of print and a bit expensive at the time. But I suppose its Christmas time and I WILL get it. It might be out of print forever.
The menu indicates that there are subtitles which I tried to get into when I did not understand every single spoken word. But the subtitles option was closed. Instead I learned now that I have to use the TV's remote control to access the subtitles on the DVD.
I still give it 5 stars since its one of my favorite family movies of all time now. {The others are ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, THE ROAD TO AVONLEA, THE WALTONS, SUMMER'S END, ALAN & NAOMI, BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA (the original from 1985), WHALE RIDER (australian), NESTHAEKCHEN (german), A LITTLE PRINCESS (with Amelia Shankley, british), THE MIRACLE WORKER (with Eisenberg and also the first version with Patty Duke), A PIECE OF SKY (german), TINKE - LITTLE STRONG GIRL (danish), MADITA (swedish), WHEN I WAS SEVEN (french), and THE BUTTERFLY (french}.}
Just so that you know where I am coming from.
